Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- ChefCliveMLondon, UK2,463 contributionsWe visited St Patrick’s, as we have done on previous trips to Melbourne, to hear Mass for our belated friend Luca Fusi. I telephone and spoke to Father Michael and explained that it was at St Patrick’s that Luca heard Mass just before he died back in London. Father Michael was sympathetic and very understanding and indeed, Luca's name was read out. It was a very moving service, a sung mass, and will stay in our hearts forever. Thank you to Father Michael and the whole ministerial team for your love and understanding.Written 5 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- C...Victoria, Australia93,185 contributionsThe main part of the church is one of very few buildings in central Melbourne which were built before the Victorian gold rush of 1851. This was well before the economic boom that occurred in 1880... which is where the city began to flourish with stunning buildings and was the wealthiest city in the world at the time.
Noted as the first church in the state, it was designed by Samuel Jackson in a simple Gothic style. Jackson was born in London and is noted as a pastoralist and architect. The following are his recorded works: the first St Francis', 1839; the second St Francis', 1841; the first Scots Church, 1841; St Patrick's Hall, 1847; St Mary of the Angels, 1846; Melbourne Hospital, 1846; St Patrick's Church, 1850; St Paul's, Coburg, 1850; the Tower House, Flinders Street; a residence for Colonel Anderson; and a warehouse in North Geelong.
The church had many adaptions over the years; a cedar ceiling (1850), a chapel (1856), a sanctuary (1879) and a front porch was added in 1956.
It is located on a very busy corner of Lonsdale and Elizabeth Streets. It is quite striking amidst the busy cityscape around it.Written 29 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It was neat ane clean having large number of visitors specially during week ends. Very simple but good meals are served to all visitors in the evening and we enjoyed having the same. The place has a divine pious environment.Written 17 July 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- Jeffry bEssendon, Australia13,737 contributionsArchbishop Daniel Mannix (1864-1963) was an Australian cleric born in County Cork, Ireland. He was President of Maynooth Seminary and later became Archbishop of Melbourne. Mannix was one of the most influential Australian churchmen of the 20th century.

- Jeffry bEssendon, Australia13,737 contributionsParkville Presbyterian Church's foundation stone was laid in November 1897. When the Uniting Church of Australia was formed in 1977, the Church was transferred to that body. In 2008, it was sold to the Mar Thoma Syrian Church. The Church was later sold to the Holy Trinity English speaking parish of the Moscow Patriarchate-Russian Orthodox. The Church looks rather isolated, security is tight, entrance is very difficult. The Church was built to last, over 120 years since it was completed it is still sound, the red brick and sandstone structure is still imposing, and the high-pitched slate roof looks tight. The Gothic-style stained glass windows are in good condition. The three-level crown tower is unique in Victoria and possibly in Australia. The Church continues to have an active ministry more than a century after its after its dedication.Written 4 February 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
